Madrid may not have the Roman origins that get city historians hot and bothered, and it may be a comparative parvenu, selected from rural obscurity to become the capital only in the second half of the 16th century, but it oozes an ebullience that rarely fails to move.
MADRID
● When To Go
As in much of Spain, spring (March-May) and October are the best times to be
in Madrid. The weather is generally agreeable, the city has a fresh feel to
it and it isn't too overrun with tourists. If you love to party, visit
during May for Madrid's biggest fiesta. You might like to book ahead though,
it's a tough month for tracking down accommodation.
